Scopus Tang (S)

Scopas Tangs are often sought after by reef aquarists as they are excellent algae grazers and can keep excess algae in the aquarium to a minimum.
Their long snout enables Scopas Tangs to reach filamentous algae in reef interstices and crevices that are out of the reach of other algae eating fish species.
Scopas Tangs are more territorial than most Tang/Surgeonfish species; therefore, they should be kept singularly or in a very large aquarium with many other Zebramosa Tangs to moderate their territorial aggression.
